There's always nitpicking even of the most beautiful and supposedly "perfect" people. She’s talented in front and behind the camera.

Real beauty..not the kind that comes out of a bottle of cosmetics. Not the kind you paint on. Whether the woman is a size 10 or 28...if she's got it..she's got it..a sense of value. Not being valued by others, but value of herself. Beauty starts within, clearly. Real beauty..not the kind that comes out of a bottle of cosmetics. Not the kind you paint on.

But there always baning normal size or heavy women all the time on runways. Thats why Velvet made such news.I love her, shes the prettist super model I ever seen. But I do agree, even thoe the ban "normal size women", they shouldnt do the same. But designers should beable to put anyone of any size on the run way. There making clothes to fit real people not sticks. So why not but "normal size" people on the runway? Im talking about what Kate Black wrote:

Kudos, lady! I don't use the term "plus-size" because I think it's divisive. Instead of fighting and hating on each other, we should be picking apart the beauty myths that make women of all shapes and sizes hate on themselves. Also, if you're looking for more designers who make clothes for us. Beauty plus Power is a great directory. see…that’s my point exactly! Kudos, lady!

I think the model looked beautiful and I was so very pleased with her answers. As someone who has always struggled with my own body image it's nice to see a little representation. Also thanks for the tips on Igigi. I have always wanted to order from them, but I was concerned over quality and fit. I really appreciate you writing this.

I'm pretty sick of people attacking one 'type' of person or another because they are different than what we want to see. It's fucked up that we have so little respect for each other. I think it's human nature, and I'll bet I do it too, without even realizing it. There's probably some happy crap psychology out there about it being instinct or something. I don't really care that much about why. I just think we should knock that shit off as much as we can. Fat acceptance is an issue. Skinny acceptance is one too. I've seen it first hand. But I'd bet there's few people out there that think to themselves "I'm neither too skinny nor too fat. I'm perfect." I liked what Velvet says about diversity.
